I final went and got my wisdom teeth out. I have been over due to get them out, and I guess being an adult means I need to get it done. The process itself wasn't to bad. The doctor injected some medicine to knock me out and cause memory lose and it worked great. I did not want to remember a thing, and I don't. I am missing large chucks of time from going under to getting home. I remember bits and pieces of coming home, like stepping down into the parking lot, but not getting into the car. Apparently we stopped for gas on the way home, and I remember Matt handing me a lotto ticket and pulling away from the pumps, but then we were home. It's an odd feeling.
I didn't swell up to much. People at work were surprised I actually came in on Monday and didn't look to bad. I probably helps I slept for 16 or so hours each on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I would wake up long enough to eat alittle and take more Vicadin. Vicadin makes me sleepy. Monday at work was rough though. I almost didn't make it. I started getting a fever in the early afternoon and was really not feeling good all day. I can't really take Vicadin when I am driving/working.
.
Now I'm just sore. Really sore at some points, but things are feeling better. I keep playing with the stitches in my lower back jaw where they actually cut out my wisdom teeth. Apparently I had really large lower wisdom teeth, which explains all the trouble I was having with them. I take ibuprofen during the day and Vicadin at night, at least until they are gone. So I am still sleeping alot. I like sleeping. And my kitties nap with me too
Also I have noticed that people all said it would be fine and not a big deal, but once it was done, all these horror stories come out. They didn't want to scare me. JD ended up having 6 wisdom teeth, my boss woke up half way through his, two other guys at work were not knocked out at all, by choice and really wish they had been, our accountant's son had pieces left behind and had to go back and her daughter got dry sockets. I had already looked up everything that could go wrong, so knowing these things would not have made me feel any worse.

The didn't knock me out for either time I went in - since I had to do my each side of my face at a time. I did the left side after Raene was born and the right side after Ruby. They didn't even offer to knock me out or give me the meds that make it so you don't remember anything. I'm very jealous. Although, I guess mine were pretty routine and I have no major horror stories or you would have read about them on the blog.
I'm sorry you've been in so much pain. I hope you feel better soon. At least you've gain experience points ;)
I didnt get knocked out for the first 2 and was back to work the next day. When I had the last one removed (I only had 3) they didnt knock me out but I didnt go to work the next day.
Did you hear about the woman who got pregnant when she had her wisdom teeth removed. Better hope that didnt happen to you.
The two that got pulled didn't cause me any issues. I hardly even know they are gone, it's the two that got cut out that are causing all the trouble.
Pregnant WHEN she got her wisdom teeth out? Interesting doctor....
Its true, I read it on the internet, when I wrote it.
Yeah I woke up half way through. It was rough! I think I'll have to recollect my wisom teeth experience in a blog post later.
Yeah but you had DnD and tacos to look forward to Ted.
I found part of the problem yesterday...they had stitched my lower jaw to the inside of my cheek. The stitches were loosening and final coming out and I could feel stings attaching them.
